From the Teacher: I have been teaching for 13 years. I have taught math, grades 5-8. I currently teach 5th grade and love it. I was actually scared to move down from 8th grade but so glad that I did! I love the age group I teach in addition to the concepts. This was my first year teaching science and we worked on projects as often as possible, as well as creating interactive notebooks. The kids were very engaged in the lessons!

Wish List:

2 electric pencil sharpeners

200 wooden pencils (or more)

4 12-packs of dry erase markers for student use

2 packs of black construction paper

4 packs of multi-colored construction paper

48 glue sticks

1 set of 240 color pencils
